Hello everyone, first post here. I felt the need to write here because of all the nonsense some posts have. Here are my full opinions on wii u situation.

If you want to be taken seriously, you should not start your first post with a second sentence, and then do just that for the rest of the post.

Look, it is very simple. performance comes with a price, and the price for computers is power input. You want twice the performance, it costs you twice the power. That's just the way it is. The WiiU uses rouhly 35Watts, entire system. Both NextBox and PS4 are probably around 150W (or even more), with more modern components. So any "WiU is similar to NextConsoles" is wishful thinking. The difference WILL be noticable with the very first NextGen console games. I'd go as far as predict a horrible death to the WiiU console beginning next year. Nintendo had the advantage of the Wii inpit device against PS360, they have nothing (except lowering price way down) now against NextGen consoles.

amazing, because the ps3 fat uses like 160 watts, so by your logic wii u has less than half the specs of a ps3.there's something called efficiency, wii u does much more than ps360 with less power usage because it's efficient modern tech enables it. do yourself a favor and don't waste others time with this s**t.

haters try everything to put wii u down.conveniently this watt thing started when wii u watt usage was revealed, we even made a joke in brazil foruns over here, saying things like "wii u will have nintendo games in hd and 70 watts" or "my electric shower consumes 300 watts, so it should play the agnil's philosofy demo.

i wonder what the next excuse will be. the console size? the console heat?

If you are taking posts like mine and branding them as "hater posts" you are a Nintendo console partisan who is doing wishful thinking above about everything else.  I am expressing serious concerns about the amout of available RAM and its impact on console games.  I have an impression you believe video games will remain as they have been, and there isn't a need for more RAM for anything but graphics at all.  And this thread is about next gen consoles, NOT saying that the Wii U can top this current generation by a decent sized margin.  The cold reality is that the Wii U is NOT getting third party to sign on.  It isn't getting the next Unreal Engine at all.  Unless you want to spin how Nintendo doesn't need any third party really, when a point of the way the Wii U is, was to be able to get third-party support, or that they are "lazy", then you need to say something as to why.  The 3DS is getting good third party support, of its own type actually.  It is because it sells and can match what the designs are.  What you aren't getting into is HOW the WII U with 1 GB RAM free will match a system, if it has 7 GB free.  All I see here is "well the graphics will be toned down".  In short, there will be NO development of the worlds being larger at all?  I am not sure you can answer that outside of saying, "Stop being a hater" and "Have faith".  Next up, I won't be surprised if you start saying "b_e_l_i_e_v_e".
